The Earnings Test and Work Patterns: Experiences of Canada and the United States
Abstract
dc:descriptionA stated policy goal in the United States is to increase the labor force participation rates among men ages 65-69 as a means of alleviating the long-term financial difficulties of the old-age pension program under social security. It is widely held that eliminating the earnings test will contribute to this goal because people respond to economic incentives. The purpose of this study is to empirically examine what has happened when the earnings test has been liberalized in the United States and completely removed in a country with similar socio-economic characteristics, in this case Canada.
